Because the Humans are terraforming Em-8er while being attacked by different lifeforms. It stands to reason that some times the terraforming equipment will break down or be damaged in an attack. When this happens the control chaos the terraforming does can become unstable and run out of control. When this happens what would be the outcome? The goal of this thread is to try and explore the different ways terraforming can go wrong as a way to make up story elements and/or gameplay elements. The question of what is possible and what is not possible is only really limited by how the terraforming equipment works and how the planet itself as well as different lifeforms react to it.
That kind of events would you like to see happen if and when the terraforming going out of control? What kind of mission types might be linked to those events? Do we have to try and fix it before things get to far out of hand? Do we have to try and put a stop to it by destroying it? Or do we have to try and survive until it is all over?
i'll start by listed some odd types of dangerous natural events we have here on Earth in real life, in no particular order, that could pop up as random on Em-8er as things get out of hand.

- Raining fish
- Raining spiders
- Microburst = I really powerful downdraft often linked to thunderstorms that can make product tornado force winds pushing out away from the center.
- Dark Lightning = Lightning strikes so powerful that the make gamma rays. (This can happen in real life on Earth only in a few locations.)
- Horizontal tornados
- Thundersnow
- Volcanic lightning = Happens when some volcanoes erupt. The static electricity caused by the dust, ash, ice, and/or snow colliding is power enough to make its own lighting within the ash cloud, or frost cloud if dealing with a cryovolcano.
- Catatumbo lightning
- Blood rain
- Fire tornado a.k.a Fire whirl = (Overly simplistic explanation) A tornado made out of fire. Often only seen in large wild fires where the amount of heat rapidly moves air around until a vortex forms.
- Population explosion = This can be bad for a number of different reason going by what lifeforms does it. For example when some types of algae or bacteria have a population boom they also make a lot of toxic substances capable killing off other lifeforms on mass, even humans, as some of the toxic substances are gases that the winds can carry onto land.
- Earthquake storm = (Overly simplistic explanation) A chain reaction of earthquakes all happening within the same area in a relatively short period of time.
- Basalt eruption
